Description

From back in my college days, the good old days of traditional media... :P (more like expensive, time consuming, and messy days....:D ) This is a printmaking piece from Fall of 2005...

The next portion is the documentation of my process for my records (since I know I'll loose this paper I have it written on :P ) Feel free to ignore all this...

PLATE PREP:
-Etched all black lines around flowers and
branches: 40 min
-Aquatinted branch 50% coverage: 5min
-Aquatint later reapplied 50% coverage:
5min
-Highlights on branch whited out: 2 min
PRINTING:
-Relief roll printed before plate was
bitten.
-After plate was prepared, black was
printed over top of the pink pull.
-Flowers were painted with several coats
of white gesso.
-Etched lines were darkened and touched
up with black India ink.
-Light Green colored pencil was then
applied lightly over branches.
-Highlights were then applied lightly with
white colored pencil.

applied by hand with black India ink
and white gesso.
